Amanda is incredible. She's professional, accommodating to my hectic schedule, always kind and intuitive. She listens to me and offers me professional insight that always helps me when I need it most. I would recommend her to anyone needing help!

It’s been a tough process for me to even begin therapy but Amanda has eased my nerves and I’m only 2 sessions in and she is getting to know and understand me more. I look forward to progressing forward with Amanda in therapy!
